Hi everyone,

Has anyone got any advice on good training books? The instructor I had this weekend had some great photo sequence posters on the back wall pointing out different faults and good technique in photos - step by step.

I'd be interested in hearing what basic instructional books anyone here has read and recommends?

Thanks,

Jeremy

sorry jeremy, razzle again i am afraid

Jeremy,

Oh, and I like the Tiger Woods book, Golf for Dummies and the "Bibles" from Peltz...

/Knut

Harvey Pennick's....all of them!

the golden bear has a golf instruction book out for a long time now - it's a compilation of a weekly series he used to do for some magazine in the states and it covers all aspects of the game without going into too much complicated detail - i always find myself going back to it to "brush up" on different things - "the best of nicklaus' golf" it's called.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm going to go look in a shop sometime next week I hope.

The "Bear's" big book is "Golf my Way" Been around for 20 years or so. Some good illustrations and wisdom!

Can anyone recommend any good books on
physical exercises for us over 50's that
pertain to golf - keeping flexible, strong
etc. throughout the winter.

The Laws Of the golf swing

(body type your golf & master your game)

mike adams tj tomasi phd & jim suttie

Philosphy may have developed off "The Golf Machine" impossible NASA engineer treatise describing differening human physical golf swing abilities & result of this mechanical action

Tomasi's book not "how to play" but will if religously followed help you determine your body shape is & how this determines how you should swing !! & keys to results

get it (find it on Amazon.com)

follow it !!! ugg donk

Bear books usefull but a stance swing feet action change as got older as did kite etc

Suggest Sam Snead video Golf for Seniors & all mid Hcp range/strength gofers giv some thort to copy pro chicks & equipment (swing not shorts tits & arse)

Nicklaus we aint !!!

sry Ian came off bit harsh Bear did offer wisdom/good illustrations but did not "The Full Swing" his 1984 edition change much of his earlier hip shift etc philosphy ??

donk

Jus thort Bobby Jones may be bit "Passe" re current swing instruction but a beautifull action worth contemplating & understand he only spent 3 seconds after taking stance

Teev ran series a while ago on old masters (real footage) Snead/Palmer & I think Locke Thompson & Von Nida etc

I sometimes sit & contemplate Jones & Snead to relax somtimes when my game is bit off !

He made several golf movies these rejigged & released as four videos about 1997 'Bobby Jones How I play Golf Collection' Bob/W may have access if no Quadrant Video Carshalton Surrey

Think 10 quid each ! worth place on shelf ?

Ugg !!donk

Bobby Jones.....great swing.
The pro who's giving me lessons at the moment teaches exclusively with video camera and shots of top pros to make comparisons with your swing.

Last lesson included a "swing thought" of Bobby Jones - start the backswing with a movement of the left hip towards the ball.
Last time out it worked for me! But.... tomorrow....?!
Cheers
Rob

Jones is reported to have responded to "our listeners would like to be able to swing & play like you" "Can you explain your swing thorts while standing @ your ball

er Just wun I would like to be able to play like Bobby Jones tooo ! Is there a moral in that story ???

Take care Be the Ball & fly !!donk !!
